Product Description

The Cooltec Hose Radiator Upper is a crucial component in your Audi's cooling system, responsible for directing coolant from the engine to the radiator. This brand new cooling radiator hose is designed to maintain proper engine temperature and prevent overheating during operation. Its robust construction ensures a secure fit and reliable performance under the demanding conditions found in daily driving.

This upper radiator hose is suitable for select Audi models, including A4, S4 (B8), A5, and S5 with 1.8 or 2.0 TFSI engines produced between 2007 and 2017. To ensure a correct fit, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing an order.

Common symptoms of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks, swelling, coolant leaks, engine overheating, low coolant levels, soft or spongy hose feel, and steam from the engine bay. If you notice any of these issues, it may be time to inspect and replace your radiator hose.

Replacing the upper radiator hose is recommended if you see signs of wear, leaks, or deterioration. Timely replacement helps prevent engine overheating and protects your cooling system from further damage.
